Found this 1959 bus engine yesterday, along with a 356 transaxle, '53 Beetle engine case, a pair of 40 Dellorto's, and some more. Totally complete and original from the air cleaner to the exhaust tip, except for the voltage regulator. Looks like it should run..



NICE FIND!!!!  Smiley

Bolted it to the engine stand, gave it some fuel, and it starts and idles. Did nothing else.

I know, the steeringwheel is from formula and the push Horn is speedwell.
It is avery heavy and solid steeringwheel.

Scored another rear original ECONO frame in great shape but the color is yellow and blue vs. the normal white/blue frames very odd but the yellow is definitely original I found an old squareback in the next town over and the guy gave it to me. I recieved the rare early type 3 rear ashtrays in the mail aswell today  Smiley

Yeah I was thinking the same thing LOL but the chrome on yours was much cleaner if I remember right. I have a bunch of broken ones now on my display wall thinking of cutting the centers and trying to make a couple good 15's  Cool Man this is a great wheel I just wish they made it better/stronger. I had no problems with driving around with my 14's on my old bus year's ago. I got the Big wheel for free as everyone at pomona know's I like broken wheels to hang on my wall so they hook me up whenever they can.

I'm on my way home at the moment from northern california and stoped at the mcdonalds saw a bug on a tow truck looked into it and saw this empi steering wheel. It's not perfect but it's not bad either I asked the guy what's up with the bug and he said they are going to crush it. So I asked if he would sell me the steering wheel on it and he said just take it cuz it's all messed up anyway  Cool So enough said it's mine now  Smiley

Nice score! I got an EMPI Steering wheel at a junkyard in 1995 or so. I didn't have a socket big enough so I had to buy the whole column.
